It sounds like Layne's still caught in the spirit of Alice in Chains. You can still hear him singing in between jerry and William. Haunting, yet as always, beautiful.
Why do self loathing songs resonate with me so much. This was great poetry. The best heart wrenching track since Down In A Hole. When I first heard this, I was going through some clusterfucked situations. Damn you Jerry; always nailing it on the head. This is what's missing from mainstream rock/metal; that gut-wrenching sorrow that makes you reflect and appreciate art/poetry.
That’s why they are the absolute best in my opinion. Every single season in my life that I was struggling and felt utterly helpless AIC was always a part of me.
Very touching comment. Life is tough, but the most important thing is that we fight and try to win in all battles that we are dealt. Unfortunately Layne failed in that, but he gave us such beautiful music and left us with a lot of beautiful memories.
AiC's music saved my life, I believe this with all my soul. When everything seems hopeless, you need to cling with someone or an artist, whose energy you can relate to... Listening to souless, fake hapiness shit on radio only makes you feel worst and disconnected from yourself.
I may have said this already at one time, but Cantrell is a genius of a musician. You can almost hear Layne. Yes, you can hear him. What a beautiful song!
Nothing or no one could ever even come close to Layne. He is such an incredibly gifted unique talent. It stopped me dead in my tracks & made me cry when I heard that part. So very missed, but I'm anticipating the concert of a lifetime on the other side!
I miss Layne as much as the next AiC fan but William DuVall should be recognized in his own right. I feel that the AiC fanbase is divided into two camps and that's sad. When Layne's mother gave her blessing for them to perform as AiC with William DuVall I gave Black Gives Way to Blue a listen and I was hooked. This song in particular sums up my life in the late 2000's when I lost my job in the housing bust.
I just imagine Layne up in heaven with headphones on leaning back, eyes closed and smiling as he hears his friends keeping their passion going. The band is is still kicking ass and recording absolute bangers to this day. Alice in chains will never die
Well youll say I cant scientifically prove there is and Ill say you cant prove there isnt but theres way more (NDE Near death experience) accounts reporting there certainly IS and the way more reporting theres also a Hell ...I would tend to err on the side of caution and beleive there is both than relying on my own personal desire to think there isnt just because its more comfortable to think there isnt the numbers who say there is are in the hundreds of housands- millions do some research its a really good idea to learn rather than assume @@dannyspitzer1267
I hate to break it to you but majority of artists who made packs with satan are not in heaven since they spent thier career giving thier talent to the devil and not thier creator God even logically it dosent make sense they would be in the place of the very person they wrote most of thier songs against or insulting why would God allow them in when they had zero respect for him ...its not pleasant but neither is the cold reality of it heaven is a place for ppl who wanted a relationship with God not expecting entry just because you or your fans say your a good person its weather or not God thinks your a " good person" and his moral standards are way higher than ours
OperationDamage Part of the layering sounds so much like like Layne, its spooky. The fact that they chose this to precede BGWTB is even more interesting. I bet they noticed it too.
This album came out before Addiction robbed me of so much. Layne & AIC were the only ones who could touch on my depth of feeling lower than low. Black Gives Way helped me through so much. It let me know that I didn't have “no way out" They (Jerry especially) tought me that you may not always win the fight, but it's the battle that counts and how you get up from being knocked down. I have a very special place in my heart for these guys and what they do. In addiction I felt so similar to Layne, I truly believe his voice got me through so much I couldn't describe. Layne tought me how to feel, and Jerry is teaching me how to heal. Just like someone else commented “Somewhere in between William and Jerry, You can still hear Layne" It's hauntingly beautiful. Much love ❤️ guys 🤘
Have you heard of mad season? An album that Layne did with one of the other members can't recall but it was only one album still a badass album tho, check out river of deceit and my favorite "wake up" that one helped me thru hard times
Probably my favorite song from this album. I've been a Chains fan forever and I can honestly say this is my favorite album from them. It came out at the saddest time in my life. It's a depressing album to me, but music is all from the heart. All you can feel is what you feel.
Flowers on a cross remain.. mark an ending scene.. damn it all if blood you spill turn the grass more green. Life is short. Jerry is a lyrical genius. My God, I feel these lyrics. 2019. Still my fav band ever. RIP Layne!
+joe Costello gonna have to agree with you 100%. I found a rare interview of Layne's and compared it to an interview Duvall gave recently and their speaking voices sound nothing alike. Duvall actually sounds like a tenor and lacks the timber and grit of Layne. It's a good song but sadly, it's no Layne.
I listened to this album and really only liked one song "check my brain." I ended up buying the album anyway. Most of the songs grew on me and I couldn't believe what I was missing. "Private hell," sounds like Layne and Cantrell harmonizing at 1:23 and even throughout the chorus. I bet if Layne heard this he would be proud. The old AiC is good but there's no denying that the new AiC isn't just as good too. What a shame it would be if AiC broke it off after Layne's death. What would be better having this band together still or not even at all anymore?
The show must go on. Jerry is so talented, and his music allowed him to express his grief and sorrow of losing his beloved brother Layne. RIP Layne Rock on AIC
English isn't my first language, so when I first heard this song, I could only understand some words.... But now I read the full lyrics and it moved me to tears... It explains my feelings perfectly. I really love this band, I've been listening to them since I was very young. Even at that time I felt drawn to their songs, although I couldn't understand a word... But music is the universal language, anyone in the world can understand it! ❤️
i didnt know that, and thats fine if thats really what its about, but how many times have lyrics been left to the interpretation of the listener? how many lyrics have multiple meanings? let people take away from it what they will. especially because i think this song particularly helps a lot of people cope with shit in their lives.
Because music isn’t popular anymore. Now people listen to poor synthetic imitations of music. Music died a long time ago as far as mainstream and radio are concerned
It was released during the 07-08 recession. So much great material was overlooked. They were never about “hits" though, I think that is what separates a “singer" from a genius musician and vocalist. I think Layne sent Jerry some vibes to “keep going" I feel like with AIC records I can listen to from front to back without skipping a track. Especially these last 3.
it makes me crazy yet it reassures. ill never figure it out. WSOU Seton Hall turned me onto the best thing for my psyche ill ever know in this material world.
This is my favorite slow heavy track on the album. The harmonized vocals in the verses are absolutely perfect, the solo has so much emotion put into it and sounds like it's crying, and Will and Jerry's scream of "Private Hell" together at the end is so eerie and haunting and always gives me chills every time I listen.
I'm in love with them; harmony, tension, grief, addiction, and the rest of the demons. I think wecovery can be tough without Jerry and the Gang to put it all in perspective and validate it. All of it. I think Layne gave me the balls to go into the rooms. Amen. God bless Layne, Mike, Chester...et. al.
Layne's essence will be always with AIC and with us... so sad and so beautiful is this song. Thanks Jerry and William for giving us your music and talent
We all miss Layne, but life goes on, A massive credit to Jerry and the band for coming back and making what is one of the best collection of songs and sounds in the past 20 + years. The album cannot be regarded high enough, The best is not high enough. Please give us more jerry, don't let this just be a brilliant epitaph. We are listening and await..... your next move............
Thank you AIC for carrying Laynes spirit. Im so glad these guys didn't give up. Layne would be so proud. It's so melancholy, brings a tear to my eyes. #respect 🤘
That's not as true as the majority thinks, about half of the "harmonizing" is actually Layne's voice double tracked in another key because Jerry couldn't keep up. Not hating, just facts.
I loved Layne and truely miss him, but I can not deny this album is amazing and stays true to the unique AIC sound we all know. This song especially, amazing!
These lyrics remind me so much of Layne, & how he lived in his own little cell... his own private hell!! IT HURTS SO MUCH THAT HE CHOSE 2 JUST GIVE IN 2 HIS ADDICTION, BUT BEING A FELLOW HEROIN ADDICT, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND
When I listen to the song I imagine the band members are in a graveyard in the night under pouring rain and lightning. There are shots of the band singing and playing instruments interspersed with the band digging up a grave. Jerry looks on as his bandmates dig a hole in the ground. Then they lower a coffin into the hole. By the end of the video they are shown to read the last rites and then they leave parting gifts in the grave. At the end, the man in the coffin is revealed to be Jerry or William all along (even though both were already digging the grave) and the guys start piling the ground back over the coffin and it fades to black.
one way of looking at it is that this is an album about Layne. It's a tribute to him by the people that knew him best, and it provides closure. certainly there is no reason to be angry at Jerry for wanting to make music with his old band members again
Al escuchar esta canción con sus letras, su poderosa y melancólica guitarra (2:05) que se cuela en ese desgarrador coro no puedo dejar de pensar en su gran vocalista Layne Stayley y todo el infierno que llevó dentro hasta su muerte. Layne tendría la misma edad que tengo hoy... "Flowers on a cross remain,mark an ending scene......Life is short"...
This song touches my heart so strongly that sometimes when I listen to it I cry a little. It reminds me of the conditions of my past addiction that I have walked away from. However life still crushes me sometimes and this song is an anthem to the struggle of life in a way. Either way I've always been a fan of Alice in Chains and I miss Layne Staley but this new album really brings AIC back to life. Rock on Jerry Cantrell !!!
Uma das melhores bandas que já ouvi...uma das poucas que coloco e ouço o disco todo sem pular faixa alguma!!! One of the best band I´ve heard...I put the album and listen all songs till ears bleed!
Agreed; it's the most haunting...Reminds me of my dad and when he died...and so much else...over and over again....I can't ever get enough of this song...Thanks for your input, JeremiahRocker..
The double tracked vocals are just as hauntingly beautiful as the early albums. The common link- Jerry Cantrell. Layne was awesome but Jerry you are the real MVP and this band would be nothing without your BRILLIANT riffs and chilling vocals.
My fave song on the album...playing it over and over again. Giving me the good ol' AiC goosebumps I used to get in the past. Kudos to the guys, they really did a great job on this album. And a special kudo to William...he had some really big shoes to fill. Gonna see them live in November...can't wait!
It's nota about Layne, Jerry, grunge scene, music, etc. It's about every time you fall in deep depression you get back here to hear the PAIN. They always know How to translate the worse feelings to us. Thank you Alice in Chains, you are my best friend, you know how I feel, you know my thoughts, you know How I want to shout what I cannot talk.
I almost thought for a second that maybe they had recorded the vocal track for this with Layne before he died and finally used it in a song. Very good, DuVall. You had me fooled for a second.
27 dislikes? Really? How do you not like this? It's not logical. I respect everyone's opinion and preference but that's just ridiculous. My personal 3rd favorite aside from Nutshell and Phantom Limb. Cherish AIC!!
No views cuz today's pieces of shit are spoon fed Bieber, Rihanna, and 5th Harmony. And that which is considered mainstream rock now and is popular is so poppy and such simple garbage it makes die a little inside everyday. We are a dying breed my friend. Phantom Limb is gorgeous, dark, complex, truly vocalized, and has BALLS that only a dump truck could carry around. I'm glad it's still out there, it just sucks we have to dig so deep for it now.
Much like the guitar work on Rooster this song has great bits and pieces of odd timings that seem to place notes both in time and not at the same time. I love this song so much. The final drawn out cry at the end hits me in the feels every time
It sounds like Layne's still caught in the spirit of Alice in Chains. You can still hear him singing in between jerry and William. Haunting, yet as always, beautiful.
I feel the same sensation...
It was three vocals in the song.. The third was somebody who wanted to join the band I forgot his name
That’s some beautiful shit, man.
Headbang \m/ mania Was it the lead singer of Smashing Pumpkins?

Bro!!! That's what I said, he nails it!! 👍🏽💯
This song is right up there with Nutshell - I feel all the feelings!
Well said. I absolutely agree with it, something about these kinds of songs 🤌🏼
To truly appreciate beauty,
One must know pain.
That’s why they are the absolute best in my opinion. Every single season in my life that I was struggling and felt utterly helpless AIC was always a part of me.
You can hear Layne, that's the way I like to think of it.
Why. Layne. I feel him on this Song
Jerry is my favorite alice in chains member. he kept the band rocking after losing two of them.
gotta admit that's impressive, Kinney been bashing those drums since the start too...
One of the best songs of Black gives way to blue - Death is not the greatest loss in life, it is what dies inside us while we live.
beautiful! Norman Cousin?
Very touching comment. Life is tough, but the most important thing is that we fight and try to win in all battles that we are dealt. Unfortunately Layne failed in that, but he gave us such beautiful music and left us with a lot of beautiful memories.
he didn't necessarily fail, i bet he has saved a life or two. on average
I logged in (I never do....) specifically to like your comment. Thank you, very much, I needed to read this tonight.
AiC's music saved my life, I believe this with all my soul. When everything seems hopeless, you need to cling with someone or an artist, whose energy you can relate to... Listening to souless, fake hapiness shit on radio only makes you feel worst and disconnected from yourself.
I may have said this already at one time, but Cantrell is a genius of a musician. You can almost hear Layne. Yes, you can hear him. What a beautiful song!
I just wrote that but it's way spiritual right
Jerry and Will are just perfect as a vocal duo, and you realize that when you actually hear Layne right in the middle of their voices combined
For real! It takes two to come close to the one Layne. lol. So good!!
Nothing or no one could ever even come close to Layne. He is such an incredibly gifted unique talent. It stopped me dead in my tracks & made me cry when I heard that part. So very missed, but I'm anticipating the concert of a lifetime on the other side!
loves Layne, but these albums just proves that the brain, heart and magic of AIC has always been Jerry.
Well put.
I miss Layne as much as the next AiC fan but William DuVall should be recognized in his own right. I feel that the AiC fanbase is divided into two camps and that's sad.

I’m having feelings again. Like some kind of 14 year old kid. You remember feelings right?

Definitely my favorite song from Duvall's era.
Maybe because the harmonizing between he and Cantrell sounds like Staley? That's what did it for me I think.
+joe Costello gonna have to agree with you 100%. I found a rare interview of Layne's and compared it to an interview Duvall gave recently and their speaking voices sound nothing alike. Duvall actually sounds like a tenor and lacks the timber and grit of Layne. It's a good song but sadly, it's no Layne.
Amazing solo by Jerry.
Love this solo.
Loaded with emotion. Such a tasteful player he is
Three part harmony William top and bottom Jerry in middle listen close does sound like layne in there amazing vocals
Traci Turner I think, they generate Layne's voice into the songs as a little tribute for Layne Staley! :)
I listened to this album and really only liked one song "check my brain." I ended up buying the album anyway. Most of the songs grew on me and I couldn't believe what I was missing.

+Ben “dusterman” G William Duvall and jerry harmonizing sounds a lot like layne and jerry to me in this whole album
+Ben “dusterman” G obvious answer for us both
The show must go on. Jerry is so talented, and his music allowed him to express his grief and sorrow of losing his beloved brother Layne. RIP Layne Rock on AIC
This track could easily fit onto Jar of Flies - it's got the same feel as Nutshell and Rotten Apple.

layne said it best "whatever you think it's about that's what its about"
Exceptional songwriters and composers, vocalists and musicians.
How was this not a hit?
allaces14400 This album is awesome. I love it and think it is one of AICs best albums. So much emotion on this album. Love it
Because AIC are for music elite like us. The rest of the world can't understand.
Because music isn’t popular anymore. Now people listen to poor synthetic imitations of music. Music died a long time ago as far as mainstream and radio are concerned

Another AIC Masterpiece!
This song kept me awake last night...not in a bad way, it's an earworm that you want to keep always. :)
It happened to me too!
I dont want to listen to it again now before i crash for the night, dont want that to happen again!
This song has brought tears to my eyes...the solo tells a story in and of itself. Beautiful.
Maybe I'm afraid to let you all the way in
Gets me in the feels every damn time
Bryan L. Morrison I guess so
AiC, even without Layne, is better than most grunge bands, IMHO.
Are there any other except for Pearl Jam (which I personaly would define as rock)?
Wielki Wezyr Białostocczyzny yeah, those two are the main grunge bands, the rest are either dead or they sound awful these days
Chris Cornell is still doing well I think.
Connor Fin 😔
Correction. Better than most bands period
“Damn it all if blood you spill turn the grass more green.”
One of my all-time favorite lines
We all miss Layne, but life goes on, A massive credit to Jerry and the band for coming back and making what is one of the best collection of songs and sounds in the past 20 + years.
The album cannot be regarded high enough, The best is not high enough.
Please give us more jerry, don't let this just be a brilliant epitaph.
We are listening and await..... your next move............
I fully agree with this. The harmonies are incredible.
life is short......
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Jerry was the AIC heart and soul...his voice...incredible!!! Lane had the amazing spirit...and still lives betwen us...I love AIC!!!
Thank you AIC for carrying Laynes spirit. Im so glad these guys didn't give up. Layne would be so proud. It's so melancholy, brings a tear to my eyes. #respect 🤘
I think everybody forgets that Jerry was half of their vocal sound on all of their albums to begin with... at least on a majority of the songs
That's not as true as the majority thinks, about half of the "harmonizing" is actually Layne's voice double tracked in another key because Jerry couldn't keep up. Not hating, just facts.
3:09 - 3:29 Just... wow. Lyrically, like knives in the soul of reality.
God damn u can hear Layne in their!! Only if it were him in the flesh!! Amazing song!! RIP Layne, u r missed!!
Bless all members of AiC, past and present. Still relevant, still fresh, still real.
Favorite track from this great album!!! RIP Layne Staley.
Story of myself within this song. They have the perfect words to explain all of it. And I love it
I loved Layne and truely miss him, but I can not deny this album is amazing and stays true to the unique AIC sound we all know. This song especially, amazing!
I think I was too young to appreciate this when it came out. But 12 years later I definitely can.
These lyrics remind me so much of Layne, & how he lived in his own little cell... his own private hell!!
IT HURTS SO MUCH THAT HE CHOSE 2 JUST GIVE IN 2 HIS ADDICTION, BUT BEING A FELLOW HEROIN ADDICT, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND
This song is one of my favorite of all time,, totally a true masterpiece
this album is over 12 years old. Now a classic ! Love come back to it now a new appreciation for it
When I listen to the song I imagine the band members are in a graveyard in the night under pouring rain and lightning. There are shots of the band singing and playing instruments interspersed with the band digging up a grave. Jerry looks on as his bandmates dig a hole in the ground.

I couldn't stop playing this song over and over when it came out and I rarely do that.
What a fffffffffucking good song!
i just got out of a psyche ward and this seamed like the appropriate theme music
This song touches my heart so strongly that sometimes when I listen to it I cry a little. It reminds me of the conditions of my past addiction that I have walked away from. However life still crushes me sometimes and this song is an anthem to the struggle of life in a way.

Uma das melhores bandas que já ouvi...uma das poucas que coloco e ouço o disco todo sem pular faixa alguma!!!
One of the best band I´ve heard...I put the album and listen all songs till ears bleed!
Man, this song hits as hard now as it did back in ‘07. This album was just important to me as any other Alice album.
2019 still listening to this. Favorite song
2o2o
Agreed; it's the most haunting...Reminds me of my dad and when he died...and so much else...over and over again....I can't ever get enough of this song...Thanks for your input, JeremiahRocker..
Down in a hole part two
amen
Ditto.
Epic... I'm a very fan of AIC since I know them... 1992.... and I'm not afraid to say this is one of the best performs I've heard...
This song is like a punch right into my heart... Cried a thousand times listening it...
THAT SOLO IS UNPARALLELED and its angelic when the vocals come back in
When I first hear this, the good few years ago...is when a lasting part of me forever died, I still feel the emptiness, listening to this
I play this song everyday over and over again. It is just a great song. I can't stop listening to it, the words are so moving!
for the longest time i thought it was layne singing with jerry i mean for a good year lol this is proof enough that the new guy earned his place imo
The double tracked vocals are just as hauntingly beautiful as the early albums. The common link- Jerry Cantrell. Layne was awesome but Jerry you are the real MVP and this band would be nothing without your BRILLIANT riffs and chilling vocals.
Finally someone on here makes sense. You are right, how can a true Alice in Chains fan not like the new album.
Had gone through the end of my relatonship, and it was pretty relaxing to hear this song while driving
My fave song on the album...playing it over and over again. Giving me the good ol' AiC goosebumps I used to get in the past. Kudos to the guys, they really did a great job on this album. And a special kudo to William...he had some really big shoes to fill. Gonna see them live in November...can't wait!
I love this song, honestly I am social anxiety, but listening to stuff like this makes me feel good
im a veteran with an anxiety-depression thing from hell bro. we are out here, definitely
The whole album is amazing . Start to finish . This song though…I come back to it
I'm amazed these guys were able to come back as strong as they did.
It's nota about Layne, Jerry, grunge scene, music, etc. It's about every time you fall in deep depression you get back here to hear the PAIN. They always know How to translate the worse feelings to us. Thank you Alice in Chains, you are my best friend, you know how I feel, you know my thoughts, you know How I want to shout what I cannot talk.
I almost thought for a second that maybe they had recorded the vocal track for this with Layne before he died and finally used it in a song. Very good, DuVall. You had me fooled for a second.
MrJimmyTide I think, they generate Layne's voice a little bit in some of their newer songs. With the updated technology we have today. Its possible.
27 dislikes? Really? How do you not like this? It's not logical. I respect everyone's opinion and preference but that's just ridiculous. My personal 3rd favorite aside from Nutshell and Phantom Limb. Cherish AIC!!
No views cuz today's pieces of shit are spoon fed Bieber, Rihanna, and 5th Harmony. And that which is considered mainstream rock now and is popular is so poppy and such simple garbage it makes die a little inside everyday. We are a dying breed my friend. Phantom Limb is gorgeous, dark, complex, truly vocalized, and has BALLS that only a dump truck could carry around. I'm glad it's still out there, it just sucks we have to dig so deep for it now.
I'm not sure if it's Jerry or the new guy but I always thought the scream at the end was very layneesque. way underrated album.
That scream is William. It’s a beautiful scream.
Very
I'm officially addicted to this song.... great album guys
Fucking sick solo, Cantrell is a genius.
Most emotional and beautiful song AiC ever made.
Still my favorite song from the post Layne AIC. The new album is good but it's missing songs like this.
How could you not want this band to continue? How could you miss out on this?
Miss you Layne ur talent will never get old sucks ur gone which means good music is gone from earth anyway .Hope ur rocking up there happy
''i excuse myself
i'm used to my little cell''...
pure poetry!
the best of the album, i agree!
AiC is my fav band..grew up listening them thanks to my dad..R.I.P Layne your missed by fans and your Brothers..and DuVall keep it up
This is so good you can see Staley watching from the studio couch man... He's like...."yeah"... Haha classic
He's awesome. Iwas at Moheghan in Sept as well. great show.
Love this tune too, DuVall's singing adds greatly to it i think, a 'Down In A Hole' vibe about it. 5 stars to the great AIC once again.
Love love love this song RIP Layne Staley 😞❤💛💚💜💙
Much like the guitar work on Rooster this song has great bits and pieces of odd timings that seem to place notes both in time and not at the same time. I love this song so much. The final drawn out cry at the end hits me in the feels every time
One of the greatest songs I've ever heard. I've really been leaning on this song a lot. Thanks, AiC guys.
Beautiful melodic harmonizing. One of the all time favorites.
Just excellent. I bow down to you Mr. Cantrell for regrouping and creating this fantastic record.
I still love this- and I still thank you, Crazy Mary, for putting this here!
